It is with great pleasure that I present an almost complete set of Abbildung des Papsttums (1545, Representation of the Papacy), a series of nine anti-papal caricatures by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
These were published in conjunction with the "Against the Papacy at Rome, Founded by the Devil".
The Catholic Encyclopedia mentions that they are "the coarsest drawings that the history of caricature of all times has ever produced."
The majority of this type of prints during the religious war between protestants and catholics were produced by protestants, however, there is the fine example of a catholic counter-attack by the depicting 'Luther as the Devil's Bagpipes'.
Needless to say, I find this "coarseness" invigorating and I remember how amused I was when I first read "You should not write a book before you have heard an old sow fart," an infamous dictum by Luther.
You can find more at Martin Luther's anti-Semitic and anti-papal pamphlets and protestant satire of catholicism.
In case you would like to purchase the set, it will set you back €35,000.
